Thanks to a bunch of email / IM and a couple of comments on my initial entry on portable GPS systems, I ended up going for the TomTom 910 and although I wasn't impressed before buying it, I have been mildly happy with it.

The arm works well so far, is easy to use and take on and off, and very solid.

The voice system does a decent job. I like it when it tells me things in advance (take a left and then the second right), and the key is that it tells you road names, so instead of having to just get good at knowing what 300 yards is, you can look up and see 'yes, this is Foo St' and turn there.

The funny point so far: When sending me on County Rd MM it said "Take a right on county road millimeter". Trying to be too smart for its own good.
